Play YouTube Videos in a Loop

If you want to play a YouTube video one more time, there's a "replay" button at the end of the video or you can press the left arrow, after focusing the video.

To automate the process and play the video in an "infinite" loop, use Loopy for YouTube, a Greasemonkey script that adds a small link below the video to start the loop. The script requires Greasemonkey , a Firefox extension, and it's efficient: it doesn't reload the page to download the video again.

Not sure what "Anynymouse" wanted to say in the comment, but if you ever open a new window with full tool bar, scroll bar, status bar and other thing, paste the Youtube link into it, resize it to an appropriate window in order to read in another window, you will find that worth a question.

@Alex: install you scrip with Greasemonkey. But did not see the "pop-out thing" as in the scrip homepage. I'm using Firefox 3.0.Also it would be nice to have the pop-out window alway on top to make it easy when viewing with the other window (I mean the main browser window)

Do you know how to stop the previews at the end of any video from you tube you post on your website, is there any script that can do this. I just want people to see the video they are playing and at the end of the video I want it to stop not showing any of the related videos YouTube puts there automatically.

You can try this website: LoopTube http://looptube.appspot.comIt provides great and simple function to repeat YouTube videos.For the details instruction you can see:http://looptube.blogspot.com/2008/11/two-simple-ways-to-loop-your-youtube.html

I made a site that lets you search for videos or playlists by keyword, then loop them. You can change the order of videos in the playlist, remove them, and addmore. Then, if you want, you can save the new loop as your own YouTube playlist

Sorry to be off-topic, but I've tried to search everywhere without success. You folks seem to know a lot. I am trying to embed multiple videos (not necessary youtube) and play one video after another in a loop. I need this feature for http://www.postpot.com/tv.

You can also loop a video by simply pasting its url inside EZ Looper at http://www.ezlooper.com or by changing the "youtube" word in the url to "ezlooper" like so:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZo54hbMc5Qtohttp://www.ezlooper.com/watch?v=eZo54hbMc5Q
